The Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE is a version of the number-one selling Galaxy S3 that runs on 4G LTE networks. A 4G network has a theoretical limit of 100Mbps download, compared with the 3G maximum of 21Mbps.

The only other differences between the regular S3 and the 4G version are that the 4G version is available in a choice of titanium grey and marble white and that it comes with Android Jelly Bean (4.1) ready installed. The 4G version also has 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB in the normal version.

Pricing of the 4G LTE version will be the same as the 3G version. Initially, 4G will be available on the Orange/T-Mobile (Everything Everywhere) networks only, but the other UK networks will be launching their own 4G services in 2013.

I have had this phone for 2 1/2 weeks. So far the phones performance
exceeds the HTC EVO DESIGN 4G from Boost Mobile. I would
recommend this phone to anyone seriously looking for a well performing
handset. The new Jelly Bean 4.3 is amazing. Tons of new features that
top anything I have ever used in a smartphone.Rating:

I am very upset with the Samsung Galaxy S3 4G Lite .... It seems as if
I NEVER have service and all the time my phone will say "your mobile
nunber is not active please call customer service" when I try to call
someone. My boyfriend has the same phone "Samsung Galaxy S3" and the
same carrier, same plan and everything and his works way better. Has
service all the time!!Rating:

I've had this phone for over two weeks and I'm really happy with it. I had an
apple 4 before and found this S3 easy to customise compared to my old iPhone.
With the new jelly bean version of android it runs very smooth with new features
such as google now. With the 2gig main ram you can use lots of apps without
it slowing down. The only downside is the battery life. It's less than my iPhone
but this runs a lot more. You can increase battery life by using power saving
mode which only affects games. Also don't use live wallpapers and turn off google
now if you don't use it very often. Only use Bluetooth and wifi when needed.
I found my battery can last up to 2days. Also I brought a spare battery and
charger for 20 pounds so will never run out of power. A brilliant phone. I highly
recommend it. Rating:

I have had this phone for 2 weeks and love it. It replaced a 2 year old SE Experia
x, which was getting old and slow. Several things I would like to share about
this phone: very fast, easy to use, great screen resolution, large amount of
apps on the market, the battery is ok, but not great. One thing I found very
useful - you can adjust/fine tune almost everything on it, or find app to do
it. I have tried iPhone 5, but it's not my cup of tea. I am sure it's fine but
this phone is absolutely great. It does all business functions I need and it
is not as large as the dimensions suggest.Rating:

I've had the LTE 4G version of this phone now for a week and feel I should write
a review to help people choose their next phone. I've used the iPhone 4 for
the last two years which I thought was great until it went faulty. I was holding
out for the iPhone 5 but after seeing it, I felt it was more of a shameless
cash-in kind of update with nothing really new and intuitive. After reading
reviews etc, I narrowed it down between the GS3 and the HTC one XL. The GS3
swung it for expandable memory and a few other minor things.

Well, one week in and I love it. I was a little apprehensive ditching Apple
but for me it's been the right choice. There are things I like about this and
things I don't:

The android play market is not as vast as iTunes and some of the apps aren't
made as well. I assume this is due to the larger amount of phone models it has
to cater for.

The large screen is overwhelming at first but great now and feels normal

The build quality is nowhere near as good as the iPhone but that said, it didn't
prevent my iphone 4 from developing faults after one drop.

The customisation of the GS3 is great - you forget the simple things like file
movement and folders when having an iPhone.

One of the downsides to the GS3 is the battery which lasts about a day but that's
probably down to the fact I've hardly put it down.

Overall I love the GS3 and recommend it to people that like the freedom to customise
pretty much anything they want, as well as do cool things like run classic console
emulators and connect USB drives as well as other USB drivers - I cant believe
what I've been missing.

If you like to keep it simple and straightforward with less customisation then
go with Apple.

Also before anyone assumes I'm some kind of Apple hater, please bear in mind
I loved my iphone and have a new MacBook Pro. Rating:

Hi David. I've had this phone for over two weeks and really happy with to. I
was an iPhone 4 user but now I'm converted. With the battery life issue, there
are ways to expand it. First use power saving mode as it doesn't affect normal
use like Facebook etc, only games as it reduces CPU power. Also I've turned
off google now as this can drain battery life too. Also during during night
time I turn off mobile data. Also I brought a spare battery with charger for
20 pounds from mobile fun. So I will never run out. Hope these tips will help.

Thanks for the review David. I am in the same position - switched from Apple
after being very underwhelmed by the iPhone 5. I agree, the S3 battery life
is not great. However there are other things which really annoy me about this
phone (as much as I love it). Simple things, like being able to trim and edit
videos quickly (stuff the iPhone has as standard in their video app). One of
the things I used my old iPhone for regularly was to send videos of my kids
via whatsapp - iPhone would automatically trim the video to a smaller file size
but on Samsung the app just refuses to send videos which are too large and does
not offer to reduce the file size - This is an issue with Android rather than
Whatsapp. The cut and paste feature also doesn't work as well. I like the freedom
of the Samsung phone (transferring files and expanding memory is great) but
Apple defintely made things a lot simpler on the iPhone. So I can understand
why people stick with Apple and refuse to move to other manufacturers.
